Description

Reference to myself. Not actionable.

The task list function currently returns tags in the Python implementation, but does not in the PHP implementation. Is it desirable to have the tags added? I am leaning towards no, because it always incurs the extra costs even if people don't need the information, and I am not aware of this being a much requested feature to begin with.

Research direction

Compare the task list functions in the Python and PHP implementations, starting with how each currently handles tags and the stated cost of retrieving them. The issue is done only when the project reaches a decision about whether tags belong in the response and turns that decision into an actionable scope.
